  1. do you have the 6-bolt shafts for the R180 too?
  2. Im sending the mrs to Tassie for that weekend, so I should be good to tag along. Will see. MAG86 (possible)
  3. I now think im cool enough to do formals (new ride picked up over the weekend) 1UZFE gumbles away VERY nicely. pm me if you want, Im free
  4. I will be about on friday night. Will hopefully be close by about 10:30.... but then again everyone might be in bed by then...
  5. Woah 2 pager!!!!!! Latest news: I was too slow in the request, and the family I was talking to have arranged other things.... Chrysler 300C's (as in 2) My gratitude to all who relied. Thanks to all! Well seeing as everyone is now 'free' lets get some dates happening for the xmas cruise!
  6. Cherrs for the replies folks! Will get that info ASAP...
  7. If my ankle wasnt so monged up I would be keeping the Z32, but I just gotta move it on. Will look for part number/markings tonight.
  8. Yes, this time of the year again. I get all the mums and kids asking If I know anyone with cool cars who can take them to the yr12 formal. Obviously the R30 Hunchback isnt cool enough. So I will update with more details. (gotta get info from wife) Any takers?!?!???????
  9. Yep. A bit more info is buried on hybrid-z (which is blocked here at work) Nissan Anti Pollution System Basically a big name for exhaust gas recirculation
  10. That f**k head broke into my car 2 weeks prior to that accident too... po po didnt do shite... as usual
  11. The Z32 box I have hee came out of a R30, and the gearstick came up in the stock location. The only real mods you may also need is the tailshaft.... length could be different.
  12. Arent they a half bred nissan made in Taiwan??
  13. I have a Z32 box here you ca have for cheap.... I'll never use it as my clutch foot is knackered
  14. f**k oath, Standard enough for me if its got Nissan on it!
  15. Theres nothing wrong with Toyotas! Im a MX83 fan.
  16. Awesome man!!! I just need to wait while you get it registered, then buy it when you sell it for another project in 3 months!!! lolz
  17. Car Dealerships quite commonly throw 'racing wheels' in the deal to make a sale.... Could be a dealer option!
  18. Its the steve that was at the Skyline Nationals in Adelaide, the guy who was MEANT to get the award instead of Rob White HR30 Coupe, series 1, honeycomb grille, aftermarket JDM gold mesh rims. Very very very original.... (no lpg, aftermarket turbo, csa rims, seats, haltec ecu, king springs, commodore brakes... all %100 standard...)
  19. OK ppl... Who is keen on this?!? Only this weekend left for prep-time!!!! Im def interested in going. Also on the lookout for a Leavers Dinner car, but might start another thread for that.
  20. As these are definitly hard to find parts for, I really appreciate what you have done with this. Below is the proposed C211... needs alot of TLC (efi was a surprise!)
  21. Looks great! WHat would something like this be worth now-days? I have my eye on a C211 4 door, basically the same as this (EFI though) Im wondering if its worth useing as a daily driver, or restoring it to condition similar to this!
  22. Ah ok. There was another 260RS just like yours. Looks like a nice cruiser thats for sure!
  23. The ratios will be different thats for sure. Strength wise, there may be a different bearing thickness. Stewart Wilkins will know....
  24. The cost of adding a turbo to your non-turbed skyline will be MOAR than buying one already done. (say orig cost of non-turbed R34 skyline is $10,000, to boost it you need about $3000 of parts only..... you can buy turbed ones for $12,000 if you look hard enough, plus they will go 11billionity times better than a home-job! Trust me Ive been down that path many times. Best advice is drive what you have for now, then buy the turbo car once you are off your P's and have saved up a stack of cash, as well as stored away a few upgrades like aftermarket ECU and the like (stuff that can be used on any car) If your really smart, figure out what the market value is right now for your target vehicle, and see how much they have dropped in price over the last year or 2. Then imagine the price they will be in another year! I was looking for a S2 Stagea about 3 years ago, couldnt get one for under $17,000, now they are $11,000 to $13000 for a modified one. If you want to know the best non turbo skyline, that will be good to modify later (and get engineered) Look at the R30 Skyline from around 1984.... they are a classic, and will fetch good dollars in the future. (They are VERY hard to find now days.) R33's arent worth anything these days as they are so common, and in stock form there isnt too much special about them (sorry guys) R32's are probably better than the R33, but are getting a bit old, needing some TLC and maintenance. R34's are a bargain, $13000 will get you a good 4 door, $15000 for a 2 door V35... well I saw a 2 door for $18,000... nice. no turbo though... but likely dont need one!
  25. Was this as Deakin Shel Perol station this morning?
